Smartforce rolls out global e-learning management system

SmartForce Middle East is introduing its global learning management system, Smartforce GLMS, for companies in the region.

SmartForce, the world’s largest e-learning solution provider is set to deliver its Global Learning Management System (Global LMS) in the Middle East. The Global LMS is an intranet-based learning system, that allows the development, tracking and management of instructor-led training programs.

The Global LMS is language independent, and can be used to tailor training programs to individuals, or groups, and a central data repository allows program content to be stored and reused.

The solution is already attracting interest from educators in the region. Dubai IT Academy, part of the www.sheikmohammed.co.ae project is in the process of finalising a strategic partnership to launch Global LMS.

Jamal Khalfan Al Howaireb, director of www.sheikmohammed.co.ae stated: “Some of the factors that are really attractive about SmartForce Global LMS are features like true multi-language support, third party content support, a complete web based solution, blended learning experience, strong competency management and many more. SmartForce Global LMS combines enterprise-wide vision with continuous learning objectives in a true knowledge-sharing environment.”

SmartForce Middle East fully expects to challenge the market with a combination of solutions including the GLMS, SmartForce content & solutions.

“SmartForce Global LMS allows an organisation to develop an e-Learning infrastructure in an organisation. LMS being object-based allows rapid customisation to each enterprise and student’s particular requirement. In addition, it is language independent, allowing for global delivery, highly flexible and scalable in its implementation and functionality, and prescriptive by enabling administrators to measure proficiency and then build targeted learning paths for individual users. These features will help the organisations in the Middle East create a very efficient in-house learning environment.” Satish Kumar, SmartForce Middle East Channel Sales Manager.
